WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: Coke oven emissions are a complex mixture of particulate matter and gases, some with carcinogenicity, released during coke production. Lung cancer caused by coke oven emissions has been listed as a statutory occupational cancer in China and many countries.
WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: In this study, coke oven emissions-induced lung cancer was mainly found in the manufacturing industries. Coke oven workers exposed to higher levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in different workplaces had a high risk of occupational lung cancer.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE?: It is necessary to take efforts to greatly reduce emissions from coke production and effectively monitor the health of workers.
关于该主题已知的信息有哪些?:焦炉排放物是焦炭生产过程中释放出的颗粒物和气体的复杂混合物,其中一些具有致癌性。在中国和许多国家,焦炉排放物导致的肺癌已被列为法定职业性癌症。
本报告补充了哪些内容?:在本研究中,焦炉排放物诱发的肺癌主要出现在制造业。在不同工作场所接触多环芳烃水平较高的焦炉工人患职业性肺癌的风险较高。
对公共卫生实践有哪些启示?:有必要努力大幅减少焦炭生产的排放,并有效监测工人的健康状况。
